Your hosts, Justin and Matt, discuss everything video games. We talk about what we like, what’s new and sometimes delve into some extremely hypothetical conversations. Enjoy the show and be sure to direct any comments/questions/concerns to tryplayingbetter@gmail.com. Thanks!

Kyle joins Justin for the second time in TPB history. They discuss the problems with the Gamestop Power Pass and the EA loot box situation. As always we go over what we've been playing and we mention a new game in the distant future, Ghost of Tsushima, created by Sucker Punch. We have high hopes...

Please contact us with any comments or questions and as always, Try Playing Better!

Tis the season... for new releases. See what Matt thought once he got his hands on Mario Odyssey and how Justin felt shooting all of the nazis. We also go over our October "Try Playing THIS Better" challenge and get Matt's thoughts on FEZ and Justin's thoughts on Passpartout.

How much do you spend each month on games? Let us know. We go over our monthly gaming budgets, how much Matt likes Shadow of War, how much Justin doesn't like Pokken Tournament, and Xbox Games with Gold for October and November. And be sure to check out the Sometimes Geek podcast with Derek.

It's time to get someone else's point of view. Kyle has been a good friend and a fan of the podcast since launch. Let's hear what he has to say about his favorite RPGs and fitting his hobby around a family life.

Tell Tale Games are great at pulling this off well. What are some other games that you've felt a connection with a character?
